I'm going to work from the 2.0.12 stock kernel (that's the version
that's running on bogomips right now, so I know it works).
I haven't heard anything recently about linux.sgi.com, so I'll just
install the CVS tree from private/dm somewhere on neon (my poor box)
and try to extract a diff. Time to brush up on my CVS skills. =)
My Indy goes away in a week or so, and I want to get the 2.1.36 merge
done before it leaves. (I have the option, but not the means, to
purchase the Indy in question for $5K CDN. =) ) Hopefully, I'll be
able to work off of linux.sgi.com, when it gets deployed somewhere
visible to me.
Once I get to the point where I can successfully build a kernel and
such, I want to start hacking some of the PROM config-extraction
stuff, mainly so I can boot from the network without typing in 5 lines
of nfs config data. =)
One of my cohorts found a book on MIPS assembly in a local store, so
I'll probably pick that up as well; should cut down on the number of
stupid questions I have to ask.

Excellent, my liege.
(microupdate: just finished unpacking cvs.tar.gz, and I'm going to
have to shuffle some stuff around so I have space to actually extract
a kernel from the archive... =/ )
